A place of comfort: How the Schneidmiller Hospice House transforms end-of-life care in North Idaho
In the heart of Coeur d’Alene, the Schneidmiller House offers more than medical care, it provides a sanctuary of compassion, dignity, and peace for those at the end of life. As North Idaho’s only freestanding inpatient hospice facility and the largest in the Inland Northwest, it delivers expert care in a warm, home-like environment. Its true impact is felt in the comfort it brings to families, the support it offers caregivers, and the way it embraces the community during life’s most challenging moments.
